 Solid fuel rocket motors certainly deposit micron-sized spheres
into the atmosphere. I believe that these spherules, which are mostly
alumina have a fairly short life before drifting down if they come from
first stage motors (a la Space Shuttle).
Such motors used higher up might well create a problem.
